How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

A tubular motor sits inside the barrel on most shop and domestic shutters, while larger doors use a direct-drive or chain motor on the end plate. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

What's included

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Herne Bay?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Herne Bay. We also cover nearby Whitstable, Canterbury and Faversham.

Can I open the shutter with my phone?

Yes, many motors can be paired with a smart controller for app or timer control. Ask for it at survey and we will confirm whether your motor supports it.

How long do shutter motors last?

With regular servicing a good tube motor typically lasts many years. Heavy daily use, an overweight curtain or misaligned guides shorten its life, which is why servicing matters.

What happens to an electric shutter in a power cut?

Every electric shutter we supply has a manual override, so it can be wound or released by hand until the power returns.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
